The food was great, as always, I've been here many times before. However, my server Brianna did not bring Vines to its expected standards. I had ordered a tiki martini and was told 45 minutes later that they did not have the ingredients to make it - from the bartender herself. And I quote “ I don't know why she didn't let you guys know we couldn't make it”. Mind you the bartender was very busy and still managed to come speak to us herself. A different server later came and asked if we needed anything else and I went for a basic old fashioned that I didn't get until yet again, another 30 minutes later. We asked to close out right away because we were ready to go. She shows up with the tab with the martini on there that I never got, and clearly wasn't communicated with or was acting clueless. I'm not against tipping a server what they deserve but when 18% is automatically applied it's upsetting because it was not deserved this time around. Overall very disappointed in the service I received this evening.

Vines Grille + Wine Bar exceeded all expectations! We had a phenomenal dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding — perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and delicious sides, all beautifully presented. The wine selection is one of the best in Orlando, with fantastic pairing recommendations from our server. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, with live music that added the perfect touch to the evening. Service was top-notch — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Vines is the ideal spot for a special celebration or a memorable night out. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true fine dining experience on Restaurant Row!

Food was very good, service was also, wine list was fine but no availability of most of the wines by the bottle

Enjoyed a fantastic happy hour at the bar. Food and cocktails were great. A super value for the price.
Opentable Diner
Beautiful establishment with a modern chic vibe. Service was impeccable. Food was visually appealing and pleasing to the palate. I will be returning. Bonus: Cigar menu and hookah onsite.

Plus is live music. Server was spread very thin. Big conference restaurant that impacts kitchen load. Steak Frites was excellent. Grilled Octopus app very good. Scallops a disappointment. .

Service was congenial but quite slow. Bar drink orders were very slow, kitchen was only slightly better. Food was good, but why so slow on a Tuesday?

Our server was excellent and the food delicious! We especially enjoyed the live music - it was something unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable.

Our server was very attentive and the food was good. There was a stale smell of cigars when you entered the restaurant, not very pleasant when entering to eat.

The restaurant was uncomfortably cold, and the staff was far from welcoming. After we were seated, our waiter began asking us where we had eaten steak before and specifically mentioned Eddie V's, which completely turned us off. We were in the process of ordering drinks and inquired about a particular pinot noir on the wine list. The waiter told us it was sold out, and when we asked about another, it was the same answer. The only option he seemed to push was the most expensive glass or bottle of pinot noir on the list. We ended up waiting for 20 minutes without receiving our drinks. The waiter never returned to share the specials or check in on us. At that point, with no one attending to us, we decided to leave. It was a horrible experience, and we won't be returning. Save your money and look elsewhere.
Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Despite how busy the restaurant was, the service was seamless and attentive. A big shout-out to Haley, who made our evening unforgettable. She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was incredible, each dish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The ambiance was lively and welcoming, making it the perfect place for a night out. Highly recommend this spot, and if you're lucky enough to have Haley as your server, you're in for a treat! Will definitely be back!
